Drink water, fill up on veggies, eat every two hours or so small portions. Every little trick helps but sometimes you still find yourself hungry, I know I do, I just try to tough it out and it goes away.:drinker:

You have found the right place. Great place, great people, great tools. Good luck and welcome.:drinker:

:smile: Just looked at your site fantastic job, hope one day to have one like it.:smile:

Well good luck, I am sure you can achieve whatever you want. This is a great place with lots of help and friends.:smile:

I think some of it goes by your weight, i.e. If you weigh in at 160 say and you 5'6" and your friend is 250 and 5'3" and you both do exactly the same thing on your bike, because of the size differance your friend would burn more calories, you know takes more energy to move 250 lbs than it does 160. Here I think it is…

I also do cardio first then strength then cardio again...I hit the treadmill for 10 minutes first then do strength then finish with 20 minutes on treadmill... I am not an expert either but one did set up my program for me and I like to think he knows what he is doing...LOL

drinks with caffene count as half

:laugh: LOL:laugh:

:laugh: :bigsmile: :laugh:

Good luck with your surgery.

I haven't yet but I am contemplating it:wink:

14 pounds in last 2 1/2 weeks

Maybe you will only have to wear the dresses for a week and then fit in your old wardrobe? Or mix it up wear the dresses when critical and the to small pants when you feel comfertable doing so.

could do like I do and give yourself one free day a week where you allow yourself to eat what you want, i still mostly stick with my diet but don't beat myself up if I go over.

I would think you could knock off a good bit because of the breading.....enjoy

Welcome, good luck great place here with good people...8 KG is about 17.2 pounds

Welcome aboard, great place here. And Mexican is tough, not a whole lot of diet Mexfood I've run into...Although you can search the posts someone posted a ground turky burrito the other day.:smile:

Heck I gained 4 pounds in my sleep, sure hope my scale is busted. Weighed in las night, then first thing this morning and it showed 4 pound gain, I didn't even dream about food...honestly :sad:

That was very good...

I found two site with very interesting info on "Starvation mode" links below: http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post/28742.html http://www.netwellness.org/question.cfm/28515.htm I was worried about this myself at first since my Dr. put me on 1000 cal per day, (net) and I burn like 3500 per day at rest. I had heard all…

Found this in an article thought it was helpfull: "don't worry if it doesn't come close to the magical "8 glass" rule.(water intake) Nearly 20% of your water intake comes from food anyway, according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. If you're peeing at least every 8 hours and your urine is light…

Ok I admit it I have no life :laugh: I am home most of the time and the laptop sits at the table. My wife is at work, my son in school, I am off of work on temp disa. I really enjoy reading everyones posts, it helps me learn new things and share a little of what I know, very little if you ask my wife, anyway it's hard but…

That's what I do when I go a little over or want to, just start adding in some more walking. Tonight my wife is making apricot chicken, better put my walking shoes on LOL

:smile: some good ones...liked them

I hope that was a typo:laugh:

yes, yesterday someone, can't remember who, posted a list it was, I think cola's and caffinated drinks count as half non-caf teas etc count as actual amount. hope this helps

My typical day is three meals two snacks, one am one pm, seems to work for me. I just watch the meal content try to keep the fat content down, drink plenty of fluids and exercise every day, sometimes walking sometimes gym. You will do fine just keep plugging away.:smile:

As my wife would say to that question, "How tacky" Some people have trouble with social boundries. My little humorous ancedote would be: Me and my wife were in a shoe store shopping for her a new pair of shoes, (ARGHHHH) when she asked me to walk across the aisle to grab another size of a shoe she was trying on, a little…

Additional to Brazeaut, try some of the 'B' vitamins I have heard they can help with energy, my Brother-in-Law is a physician and he told me to take them, I have more energy but I couldn't tell you if it's from the B or more physical activity.

Most of the time, in my opinion, you are better off without diet aids, pills etc.. The same thing always holds true, "To lose weight you must consume less calories than you burn." Match this with excersise and you build muscle, which raises your metobolic rate to a degree, (muscle burns more energy than fat.) I think we…
